Abortions can resume at some Texas clinics after court blocks pre-Roe ban
CNN
A Texas state court has issued a temporary restraining order against certain local and state officials, barring them from enforcing a nearly century-old abortion ban in the state.
The order will have the effect of allowing some Texas clinics -- at least for a short period -- to resume the procedure for up to around six weeks into the pregnancy. A separate Texas law prohibiting abortion, its so-called trigger ban, will go into effect within the next few weeks.
Tuesday's temporary restraining order will last until July 12, according to the Harris County Attorney's Office. The court has scheduled a hearing for that day.
